192.168.1.104 Admin Login

Ricoh multifunction devices — most notably the Ricoh Aficio 3224c series — use 192.168.1.104 as their factory-assigned default IP address. Unlike traditional routers that rely on a gateway IP such as 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.104 is a host-level private IPv4 address within the Class C range, typically assigned to a networked device — such as a printer, copier, or MFP — rather than a router gateway. It belongs to the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, one of the most widely used private network ranges in home and small office environments. Because it is a private IP, only one device on your local network should be assigned 192.168.1.104 at any given time to avoid IP address conflicts. Other commonly used addresses in this subnet include 192.168.1.254 and 192.168.1.1.

How to Access 192.168.1.104

To access the admin interface of a device using 192.168.1.104 — such as a Ricoh Aficio 3224c multifunction printer — open your web browser and type http://192.168.1.104 into the address bar, then press Enter. This will load the device's Web Image Monitor or admin login panel, depending on your Ricoh model. From here, you can manage network settings, configure print queues, update firmware, set up scan-to-email, and control user access permissions.

Before you attempt to log in, make sure your computer or laptop is connected to the same local network as the Ricoh device. If you are on a different subnet or connected via a VPN, the address 192.168.1.104 will not be reachable. You should also confirm that no other device on your network has been manually assigned the same IP, as this will cause a conflict and prevent access.

For the Ricoh Aficio 3224c, the default login credentials are:

• Username: admin
• Password: 420008

If these credentials do not work, the password may have been changed by a previous administrator. In that case, you will need to perform a factory reset to restore the default settings and regain access to 192.168.1.104.

If You Can't Access 192.168.1.104

If typing http://192.168.1.104 into your browser returns an error or a blank page, there are several possible causes to investigate. First, verify that your device is connected to the correct local network — either via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable. If you are connected wirelessly, try switching to a wired connection for a more stable result.

Second, confirm that 192.168.1.104 is actually the IP address assigned to your Ricoh device. IP addresses can change if your network uses DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), which automatically assigns addresses. To find the current IP of your Ricoh printer or MFP, print a network configuration page directly from the device's control panel — this will display the currently assigned IP address.

If your device's IP has changed and you no longer know it, you can use the command prompt to scan your network. On Windows, open the command line (Start > Run > type cmd) and enter ipconfig /all to see your gateway and subnet. You can then use tools like Advanced IP Scanner or Angry IP Scanner to locate all active devices on your 192.168.1.0/24 subnet. Alternatively, check our guide to find your router IP address for step-by-step instructions.

If the IP address has been manually changed on the Ricoh device itself and you cannot recall the new address, a factory reset will restore 192.168.1.104 as the default.

Ricoh Aficio 3224c — Factory Reset & Network Settings Restore

If you have lost access to your Ricoh device at 192.168.1.104 — whether due to a forgotten password or a changed IP address — you can restore the factory default settings using the following procedure:

1. On the Ricoh Aficio 3224c control panel, press the User Tools/Counter button.
2. Navigate to System Settings, then select Interface Settings or Network.
3. Look for the option to Reset Network Settings or Restore Defaults and confirm the action.
4. The device will reboot and restore its default IP address of 192.168.1.104, along with the default admin credentials (username: admin, password: 420008).

For a full system-level reset using SP Mode (Service Program Mode), which is typically used by technicians:

1. Power off the device.
2. Hold the appropriate key combination on the control panel while powering back on to enter SP Mode.
3. Navigate to SP 5846-046 and execute the reset command.
4. Power the device off and back on to complete the reset.

Keep in mind that resetting the network settings will disconnect the device from your network temporarily. Make sure you have the network configuration details (IP address, subnet mask, gateway) ready to re-enter after the reset if you are using a static IP setup.

Changing the Admin Password on Your Device at 192.168.1.104

Once you have successfully logged into the admin panel at 192.168.1.104, one of the first things you should do is change the default password. Leaving the default password (420008) in place is a security risk, especially in office environments where multiple users have access to the network.

To change the administrator password on a Ricoh Aficio 3224c via the Web Image Monitor at 192.168.1.104:

1. Log in using the default credentials (username: admin, password: 420008).
2. Navigate to the Configuration tab in the top menu.
3. Select Administrator Authentication/User Authentication/App Auth. under the Security section.
4. Click on Administrator and then select Change Password.
5. Enter your new password twice to confirm, then click OK or Apply.

Choose a strong password that combines uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Store it securely, as losing the admin password will require another factory reset to regain access to 192.168.1.104.

Frequently Asked Questions About 192.168.1.104

What device uses 192.168.1.104 as its default IP?

The most well-documented device that uses 192.168.1.104 as its factory-default IP address is the Ricoh Aficio 3224c multifunction printer/copier. When you first connect this device to a network without any prior configuration, it will be accessible at 192.168.1.104 using the default credentials (username: admin, password: 420008). Outside of this specific Ricoh model, 192.168.1.104 is also commonly assigned dynamically by DHCP servers to any device joining a 192.168.1.x network — such as laptops, smartphones, tablets, or smart home devices.

Is 192.168.1.104 a router IP address?

Not typically. Unlike 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, which are standard router gateway addresses, 192.168.1.104 is a host-level IP address within the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet. It is most commonly associated with the Ricoh Aficio 3224c as a device IP rather than a gateway. However, it is technically possible to configure a router or access point to use 192.168.1.104 as its management IP if you manually assign it.

How do I log into 192.168.1.104?

Open any web browser and navigate to http://192.168.1.104. If you are accessing a Ricoh Aficio 3224c, you will be presented with the Web Image Monitor login page. Enter admin as the username and 420008 as the password. Ensure your computer is connected to the same local network as the device before attempting to connect.

What should I do if 192.168.1.104 is not responding?

If you cannot reach 192.168.1.104, first check that your device is powered on and connected to the network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Print a network configuration page from your Ricoh device to confirm its current IP address — it may have been changed from the default 192.168.1.104. Also verify that your computer is on the same 192.168.1.x subnet. If all else fails, perform a network settings reset on the Ricoh device to restore 192.168.1.104 as the default IP.

Can two devices share the IP address 192.168.1.104?

No. Within any single local network, only one device can use 192.168.1.104 at a time. If two devices are assigned the same IP — for example, your Ricoh Aficio 3224c and a laptop that received 192.168.1.104 via DHCP — an IP address conflict will occur, causing both devices to lose network connectivity. To prevent this, assign a static IP reservation for your Ricoh device in your router's DHCP settings, ensuring 192.168.1.104 is always reserved exclusively for that device.

How is 192.168.1.104 different from 192.168.1.1?

192.168.1.1 is the default gateway address used by most home routers (Linksys, TP-Link, Asus, etc.) and is the IP you use to access your router's admin panel to manage your entire network. 192.168.1.104, on the other hand, is a host address within the same subnet — specifically the default IP of the Ricoh Aficio 3224c MFP. Both are private Class C addresses, but they serve very different roles: one controls the network, while the other identifies a specific device on it.
